    Red/Clear Taillights

    I just got some new Red/Clear Taillights for my 1990 Honda Accord 4dr EX, but I have a slight problem. The main light (the two bigger pieces in the four piece set) doesn't have the little holes to put the bulb through, instead you woul;d have to put the bulb directly into the light. Any suggestions on how or where i could place the bulbs behind the bigger pieces of the taillight. Thanks

    u mean the wedge bulbs? id disguard those. just use the normal lights.

    unless im not hearing u right
    What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

    You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

                  red/clear taillights

                  The thing is that i have no wear to place the bulbs that light up the lenses. Its looks like the lense doesn't have that sucket you put the bulbs in.

                    I think he is saying that the red/clears didn't come with the main rear socket housings (white) that have the wires and bulbs etc. I believe you will need to remove this piece from your oem lenses and mount it to the red/clears to make it complete. If not I have no clue what you are saying.

                          red/clear tailights

                          Thanks for all the feedback I figured somehow i would have to modifify something on the light to make it work. But instead of using the socket housing from a oem tailight could I use it from an altezza tailight?

                            i was driving along today and the check engine light came on.
                            i pulled over and looked under the hood.
                            the engine was still there...
                            ...silly light!

                              im not too sure that you could... altezzas dont have bulbs in the same locations as the OEM (and red/clear) taillights. if you got rid of your stock tail lights, you are probably gonna have to find a junkyard or something to pull the backs of the lights off.
